Q: RI court has order my husband to pay child support for a child that is not his can we go back and fight the case
The child is 6 years old they live in RI AND WE LIVE in CT . How can we go about the situation
A: Sure, fighting is always an option. Sadly, the outcome is not guaranteed and the process has costs in terms of opportunities lost, tangible and otherwise. Only he can fight his case as it is unlikely the child has been adjudicated as yours. If he admitted paternity at any time prior during the case, it may be most difficult to overcome or reverse his prior,likely sworn, testimony.
